Appraisal services for home sellers - Lane Pritchard

Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Lane Pritchard will ensure you get it right.

Selling your home? You would be wise to invest in a professional appraisal. Don't think of a professional appraisal as costing money; it pays in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's hard for them to get a handle on real estate market forces.

We are not talking about how much you've spent buying and improving your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Rather, a appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value.

Selling yourself instead of using a real estate agent and need help with pricing?

More and more VA homeowners are choosing to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the help of a real estate agent. But to do it right, with minimal waiting and to get the most you can, what you need is a qualified appraiser. You need objective opinions, we're human too, we understand its difficult difficult to take an objective look at own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

In addition to helping you set a astute selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Allow you to have the edge while bargaining once you have a potential buyer
Put buyers at ease with written proof of the condition of your home inside and out
Make you aware of problems and eliminate overlooked repairs hassles that might delay a closing
Prevent the odds of unidentified problems that cause sales to fall through

People are surprised when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So spending a little on an appraisal provided the data to support a sale for several thousand more than they could have gotten originally. Others have an an inflated impression when they put a value on their home, by getting an appraisal it gave then the assistance they needed in order to realistically price their home in order for it to sell quickly rather than gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home rarely attracts buyers, reducing your offers, making closing more difficult, wasting valuable time, money, and efforts.
